This place is highly celebrated in Minneapolis. It’s a Hmong-American restaurant with many Thai fusions as well. You need a reservation if you want to eat here, unless you walk in right when they open. The pastries are the best thing about the place, but the food and drinks are all a unique spin on classics. And if they have any left, you can just stop by to get the pastries and be on your way.
Mandalay Kitchen
This is a great small restaurant. The pumpkin curry was my favorite dish. Their menu calls out all their most popular foods, so be sure to ask for recommendations.
